AirDance New Mexico is a company of
talented artists who collaborate with each other to create exciting
and innovative performances. The results range from multi-media movement
theater to their critically acclaimed aerial dances. Under the artistic
direction of Debra Landau, AirDance productions have incorporated
trapezes and other apparatus created from a variety of materials,
interactive sets, unusual scripts, original music, and videoscapes
to entertain and reveal hidden and forgotten aspects of our cultural
psyche. The company is available for performances and residencies.

About
AirDance New Mexico
"Landau
is one of those rare artists who can combine voice quality and dance
in a mutually enhancing harmony. Affinities,
done to a rich and moving text by Jeff
Hartzer, demonstrated her ability to fulfill verbal images with
movement sub-text."
Jennifer Noyer,
The Albuquerque Journal
"Debra
Landau [is] Apollonian grace."
John Gwynn, The
New Mexican
"Shaman's
Death, an air dance on a trapeze, allows the dancer/choreographer
freedom to explore air itself as a metaphor . . . and evoked images
of transformation. [The trapeze's] magical powers seemed to free the
dancer to glide, soar and explore her body's placement in the world-space
of the theater."
Jennifer Noyer,
The Albuquerque Journal
"Debra
Landau was compelling in her sinister, sinuous role . . . Ikebana
had a . . . soothing, meditative quality, with gentle movements that
culminated in striking, sculptural poses."
Beth Bradley,
The New Mexican
"Her
wonderful expressiveness added . . . personality and depth to [the]
monologue."
John Mandes,
The Albuquerque Tribune
"Apparently
used a single rope suspended from above the stage which divided into
two strands midway down in space. The dancer rose serenely from the
floor . . . and projected an almost supernatural presence."
Jennifer
Noyer, The Albuquerque Journal
"A
dancer who adds a bit of the circus to her performance."
